It’s not overly difficult to chop down a tree. Sure, tools like chainsaws make it easier, but with a saw, hatchet and a lot of elbow grease, it’s doable if you want to put in the work.
Removing the stump? That’s another level. Unless you have a stump grinder, that is.
If you’re not familiar, a stump grinder is a handy lawn equipment tool that benefits land owners, homeowners and professional landscapers alike. In today’s post, we’ll look at features and benefits for two options from Brave and Dosko that we sell here at Classic Turf Equipment.
Option #1: Dosko Self-Propelled Stump Grinder
The first option is a self-propelled model from Dosko. As a self-propelled model, it’s much easier to operate than the alternative options like walk-behind versions (though this is reflected in the cost). Dosko stump grinders are known for their efficiency, power and safety features. This particular Dosko stump grinder includes a side discharge frame that keeps cuttings away from the machine, an easy-to-transport design and fast operation.

As a walk-behind model, it’s lighter and more affordable than most gas-powered stump grinders and it’s powered by a strong Kohler 14-horsepower engine.
